Credit Insurance from Anco. Less Risk. More Business.

You extend credit to your customers every day. And, because it’s a routine way of doing business, you may not be thinking about the risk you’re taking. But what happens when a customer defaults? The business closes? Even if you’ve never experienced a loss before, it only takes one to greatly affect your bottom line and the future of your business.

With trade credit insurance from Anco Insurance, your business is protected against loss from bad customer debt. That affords you greater peace of mind to focus on your company’s success.

You want to avoid losses. It’s that simple.

What is credit insurance?

A credit insurance policy covers the unpaid credit balance from sales made to your customers. Whether you choose to protect your domestic or export business, you are able to minimize the risks associated with a customer’s insolvency or delayed payment.

Trade credit insurance from Anco is a powerful tool that combines the information and protection you need to mitigate the risk of non-payment. And, if you do have a loss on an insured account, you will be indemnified according to the terms of your policy.

Anco’s Credit Insurance program is written through Coface North America Insurance Company. Coface provides accounts receivable protection to over 35,000 customers around the world. Their strength and integrity is supported by excellent ratings from Moody’s and Fitch.

You’ve got potential. We’ll back you up.

How does credit insurance work?

In general, a company covers all or a majority of its business, and may choose to cover export, domestic or both types of accounts.

Policyholders are eligible to file a claim when a customer is insolvent or financially unable to pay the outstanding balance owed. Since Coface operates around the world, they are able to cover sales of subsidiaries or sister companies in other countries, as well as provide local features such as risk monitoring and collection services.

As a client, you have access to the online policy management tool, Cofanet. Here you can search a database of over 50 million companies worldwide to request, change or cancel your protection. Cofanet securely stores all of your account details in one central location. All stored information may be easily exported for use in the internal management system of your business.
